9/11

Today is the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the North and South buildings of the World Trade Center in NYC, the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. I watched a video of the attack on the World Trade Center in NYC and I just started crying. I saw the North building collapse and I LOST IT. I just don't know how to explain how I feel. There were close to 3,000 casualties in this horrific episode. I don't even want to imagine how the victims felt when they were racing for their lives down the emergency stairwell, how the people surrounding the building when the plane just crashed into the South building, how the security guards and people in charge felt when there was a crowd of screaming individuals just rushing and screaming by them, what was going through the minds of the passengers' aboard all four hijacked planes when the planes just collided into any of the four structures and finally, how the families of the victims felt when the news finally reached them after going through webs of connections whether it be through the newscast, friends or by watching it themselves at the scene. I just can't. I don't know how to elaborate any more. I know I'm rambling but I don't know.... Anyways, I found a video on YouTube of the tragedy in New York City. Click here to watch it.

I guess that's it. I don't know what else to say but this: My prayers and thoughts go out to the victims and their friends and families. R.I.P.
